Konica Minolta’s bizhub PRO C6000 is Printer of the Year 2011

Langenhagen, Germany, May 2011

The European Digital Press Association (EDP) has made its choice. The bizhub PRO C6000 has won the award for the Best Production Cut-Sheet Colour Printer of 2011. Konica Minolta’s light production printer convinced the jury. Speed, simple programming and high print resolution are what distinguish the device from the competition. Another criterion is size. The bizhub’s small footprint means that near to offset quality is available to in-house reprographic departments (CRDs) and the graphic arts market.

"We are delighted to hear that the bizhub PRO C6000 is EDP’s Printer of the Year 2011," says Karl-Fiedrich Edenhuizen, Product Manager at Konica Minolta Business Solutions Europe. "The award is a unique accolade for us because EDP is an association consisting of some of the most renowned digital print magazines in Europe. Only the very best products are considered."

The bizhub PRO C6000 is a light production printer. It is targeted at CRDs, print providers, high-volume offices and professionals in advertising agencies. The system offers a print resolution of 1,200 x 1,200 dpi with 8 bit colours. Up to 60 colour pages per minute can be printed. Additional features include the ability to handle paper up to 300 gsm and a wide range of in-line finishing capabilities such as stapling or punching. Finally, the award-winning bizhub has a small footprint, offers simple programming and delivers near to offset quality.

"The needs of the creative industry were what guided us when we developed the bizhub PRO C6000," Edenhuizen says. "It delivers the highest possible print quality while keeping system size and price as small and low as possible."
